Sunday. Spent most of the day reading and trying to finalize my article about Greater Ladakh. The deadline is tomorrow but the formatting instructions were a bit confusing. In the morning I washed my shirts. Tenzin came back from his cricket night and we made lunch. Somehow Thupten fixed a new gas can and a monk came around with it. Probably stolen from one of the big Khangtsens at Sera Je. In the afternoon a small monk tried to get some mangos from the tree in our yard, and climbed the wall. But Tenzin climbed the tree and gave him some instead. In the late afternoon Thupten, his brother and one more monk came back from Bangalore with a big chunk of meat. They are making Thintuk but I'm having veg. noodle. Suddenly the sleepy plave became a busy place with people going in and out. Thupten's brother Lobsang has secured his most wanted immigration visa to Australia and is going there in as soon as he has an air ticket. I don't think he will be back At sunset we went for a walk up to an empty plot above the monastery. It's a great spot to sit with good views over the landscape towards the Western Ghats and with a cool breeze.
